Some things just don't go together and the thin-lipped, stoney-faced Charles Krauthammer arm-in-arm with a joke is not something I would ever expect to see. Don't be fooled by that faint smile, I'm dead certain it has been photo-shopped!
However, thanks to Malcolm Pollack at waka waka waka, always good for the odd gem, apparently 'The Kraut' actually told one the other day:
“We don’t allow faster-than-light neutrinos in here,” says the bartender.
A neutrino walks into a bar.
Alright, alright, not exactly a side-splitter, I admit, but not bad coming from 'The Kraut'.
Oh, do cheer up, I'm trying my best!
Not as good as "Descartes walks into a bar.." but not bad.

Oh God, DM, I bet that has them falling out of their arm-chairs in the Philosophy Dept. commonroom!

Descartes walks into a bar. "Ouch!", he said. Because he walked into a bar.

It dawns on me that you may not know the joke.
Descartes walks into a bar. "What'll you have?" asks the barman.
"What do you suggest?"
"Double brandy and port?"
"I think not!"
And, wham!, he vanishes.

"Very witty, Wilde!"
I thought it was along the lines of:
Descartes walks into a bar. "What'll you have?" asks the barman.
"I think therefore a dram".
Nah! Not very good, is it?
